Class 4 update

In English the children have been learning to write instructions and explanation texts.

In maths we have recently been practising methods of subtraction, multiplication and division.  This week we have been learning about measures including converting between grams and kilograms and litres and millilitres.  The children have also been learning to read timetables and the 24 hour times that appear on them.

Our DT and science topics are now linked, as the children are working in pairs to make a festive light decoration.  This gives the children the opportunity to use what they have learnt about electrical circuits to make their decoration move and light up.

The children have been enjoying learning about Mexico and we had lots of fun on our Mexican Day making decorations for the classroom and some guacamole to taste at the end of the day with lots of tortillas and wraps!

Visit to the Co-op

Last week a group of children, including some of the School Council members, spent a morning at the Bicton Heath Co-op learning about how the stock control works.

They split into 3 different groups and each group had a turn at putting out chilled food, frozen food and scanning and changing over the magazines.  All the children very quickly got the hang of rotating the stock and checking the sell-by dates and they were very keen to remove everything out of the chillers in order to stack the newer items at the back!

Several shoppers commented on how hard the children were working and even asked if they were on work experience!

Joseph Rehearsal for children with Main Parts

Dear Parents/Carers,

This is just to let you know that next week the Joseph rehearsal will go back to normal, it will be on Monday 28th November, 3:15 – 4:30.

Just to remind you, this rehearsal is only for children who have a main part, not for the children who are the choir.

Thank you

Miss Barratt

Mexican Day

Just a reminder that it is Mexican Day in Class 4 on Wednesday 30th November.  If children could come to school in Mexican / brightly coloured clothes, that would be great!

Many thanks

Indoor ‘Cross Country!’

Even though we couldn’t go off site on Friday for cross country club, the children really enjoyed the indoor circuit training instead.
